New Delhi, May 11 -- The Congress on Monday attacked the BJP over alleged irregularities in the NEET-UG 2026, with Rahul Gandhi claiming that it is not an exam anymore but an "auction" and that no one poses a greater threat to the dreams of India's youth than the Modi government.
The leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said he stands with the country's youth in an "incredibly difficult time" and vowed to change the system.
"I heard the news about the NEET 2026 paper leak. It's not an exam anymore --NEET is now an auction. Many questions were being sold on WhatsApp 42 hours before the exam," Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X.
Over 22 lakh children studied through sleepless nights all year, burning the midnight oil, and in one night, their future was openly "auctioned off" in the marketplace, he said.
"This isn't the first time. In 10 years, 89 paper leaks-48 re-exams. Every time, the same promises, and then the same silence," the former Congress chief said.
